Many people travelled back and forth between
Cheltenham and Germantown.
As you probably know, I live in Germantown and we
often shop in Cheltenham. It's about a 15 minute drive
from my house to the two main shopping malls in
Cheltenham.

Thank you Gene- my ancestor CHRISTIAN EDEL is
buried in the Upper Burial
Ground in Germantown , and they are shown in the
old records of the German
Church there - so they must have traveled back and
forth, I am trying to
place their property exactly in relation to
Germantown - I am a member of
the Historical Society and they helped me with some
of this research, last
year -
